2016 Amiot Servelle Charmes Chambertin Grand cru

From Mazoyères, vines planted in 1980, a small .19 hectare parcel. WOW. Incredibly deep and sappy, intensely violet, with plenty of drive and focus for all of its richness.

“(from Mazoyères). Moderate wood frames a completely different aromatic profile with its notes of the sauvage, underbrush, humus and wild berry scents. The rich and relatively full-bodied flavors possess both good power and verve while offering very fine complexity and sneaky good length. This will need at least some cellar time first and should easily reward 15+ years. 93/2031+”Allan Meadows
